Theives are Parasites

One rule of thumb; DON'T STEAL FROM ME!

It pisses me off. Last night some guy named D. W. broke into my car, my husbands car, and My neighbors car. They took off with a laptop, an Ipod and my Garmin GPS. Well if you know me I don't sit on my hands and wait for someone else to take care of business. I called around to pawn shops and found my gps. They shop did not purchase the ipod because it was scratched and they ass wanted to much for the computer.
So Nick is talking with the police now and hopefully they will arrest this ass for possesion of stolen property and selling stolen property.

I am feeling really good about myself right now.

Testing

Today I go in for Lab testing and an EKG. I am already so sick of the Doctors office I don't know how much more I can stand. The Labs and EKG are just routine. They want to make sure that I am not a surgery risk. I am worried that my blood sugar is going to come back out of control. I have been experiencing some Diabetic symptoms, but it could be nothing. Even if I do end up being Diabetic it would only be until the surgery. The Bypass is actually supposed to be a cure for type two early onset.
Once that gets done I have to go see my General Doc. She will give me the green light to have surgery. I will also have to have her change all my medicine to liquid, chewable, or crushable. I am not looking forward to swallowing nasty powder for two months.
Gotta run, I have to be awake in a few hours.

fear

The day is getting nearer and I am getting more nervous.

I am going to have some lab work and an EKG done on Wednesday. Then I meet with my Doctor the following Tuesday to get the all clear for surgery. After I get the all clear I meet with the surgeon (on Thursday) to discuss the procedure and answer any questions I might have.

I have been stressed and sad. I worry that my friends will react badly to the weight loss. One of the things Dr. Bell said at our group meeting hit close to home. He said a lot of people will fall in to two teams. Team A- The skinny team and they don't want you to join or Team B- The Fat team and they don't want you to leave. Are people really that self centered. I hope that my friends will be happy that I am healthy. My goal is not to be some hot model that leaves everyone behind. I just want to live a long life with my family. My weight is slowly killing me. I am praying that all my friends will be on Team C (a team I am making up) The we love you and are happy for you and you will always be on my team. team.
I worry about being strong enough to handle this huge life change. Will I be successful? I can't fail. What does it mean if I fail. I have failed at so many other weight loss programs. I don't think I could handle failing another program.
Finally I worry about the actual surgery. It's always scary to be put under. This is the first time I will go under as someones mother and wife. I have to wake up. I am scared I won't. Why do we do that to ourselves. I mean ppl do this all the time. There are surgeries everyday and people walk away happy and healthy. Why do I stress my self out so much.

Until next time I suppose.

First times a charm

Tonight I decided to start keeping a blog. I have used the myspace tools before but wanted something more accessible.

My son turned two years old and we had his birthday party today. It was wonderful; and oddly enough I feel guilty that it went so great. I know that sounds odd, but I was without my best friends. A lot of the time I feel as though I am cheating when I have a great time with new friends in CT. Maybe its because I have been friends with everyone since high school.... I don't know.
We had a blast but I do wish Sara, Jess and Jacob were here.

In other news I will be having gastric bypass surgery in 2 weeks. I am beyond nervous. I hate being put "under". I am also nervous about the relationship I will have with food. I enjoy eating. Obviously by my weight. BUT beyond that I love to cook and feel a since of pride when I taste dinner and it's amazing. I have been told that food is no longer something that is amazing but instead something that is required to survive. Yes I understand the need for food to take a smaller role in my life but to take no role at all worries me.
Sadly I am also worried about the reaction people will have to my weight loss. Will they see it as an amazing transformation, the easy way out.... Why should it matter what they think??? Not sure... Well I am crazy tired so i think i am going to head out.

ttys!! Wendy
